School Lodge

the Lodge's members urgently need a new injection of members to survive.

Hornsey High School
It is something of a surprise (or maybe not!) to me to find how many Stationers
married girls from Hornsey High. If these girls are ever interested in
contacting one another, or they would like to have a page of their own
on our website, please let me know. We have enough space on here to enable
this! |

Master's Sayings
Do any of you have any favourite masters' sayings?
Michael Allen in New Zealand sent in:
Beaky Davis: "Time flies! - You can't! they go too fast!"
To which I'd add:
Gus Thomas: "Er..."
From Pete Armstrong:
Flick (Tiger) Lloyd: "You, tinribs, you're off your perch"
and: "...two detentions and a jamjar"
From Andrew (Mac) Mackenzie:
Beak Davis: "Stop chewing your ruler boy - it's not Tuesday"
"The last boy that did that died by inches"
"The cedilla is the submarine sign of the French language. Do you
know why boy? Because it goes under the 'c' of course!"
WAR Rees comprehensive sex education: "The next time your girlfriend
says she doesn't want to go swimming, don't ask her why."

Razz
Terry (Dusty) Miller - 1947-52 sent me this:
Razz, Razz, I love you with your hair so white.
Razz, Razz, I love you all day and night.
Verifying this and that, you heard me, what's your name.
You'll be in detention 'f you speak again !
He says it was sung to the tune of "Rose, Rose, I love you"
- by either Rose Royce of Frankie Laine.

Lament
With tongue in cheek Ken Stevens sent me this lament:
Old boys (not new boys!) we're proud to be Stationers.
Bolt Court and Hornsey sure taught us our trade.
Business is our life - or it was til they pensioned us
Into the sunset with pittance we made.
Hair long departed and much diminished dentally
We are but shadows, of our youth betrayed.
Sadly school photos I view sentimentally
Bring back! Bring back!
The young man so proudly displayed.
